Herbivore Botanicals Face Elixir - Men's Organic Facial Serum

Birchbox Breakdown

While a creamy, spa-scented moisturizer may not suit your rugged style, that’s no reason to leave your skin high and dry. Nourish your face like a forester with this handmade elixir, which uses a lightweight blend of oils to tone, hydrate, and heal tired skin, without a greasy residue. Between its fresh, woodsy scent and its leave-no-trace attitude, even the most hardboiled groomer can’t help but approve.

Really Good

Never would I think of adding a facial oil as a moisturizer as a person with oily skin, but this stuff is great. It absorbs quickly and once the scent dissipates (which happens quickly as well), my face feels like it's adequately moisturized. This doesn't leave me the feeling of a film on my face that a lotion would typically provide.

Great product!

I stumbled upon this by accident. After reading the reviews, I decided to try it. I was less interested in using it as a moisturizer, and more so to combat oil. I have large pores, and I read that the oil in face serums bond with your face's oil to minimize oil production. It has worked beautifully for me. A side benefit is that my skin also looks great. I like the fragrance, but I can see where it would be off-putting for people who do not like fragrance. Fortunately, it fades away quickly. Perhaps an unscented version as well? Also, no UV protection. I would recommend this to anyone. No clogged pores or blemishes, just great looking skin.

Great for everyday use

I started using this right out of the shower every day. The smell is pretty neutral and does fade fast. I never liked using lotion on my face and this moisturizes without leaving a film feeling. Only need 4-5 drops. Great stuff.
